Depending on the policy, some chapters take as many legacies as they can, others..just because you're a legacy doesn't mean you are guaranteed a bid.

There are some great threads under Rush about legacies.

Easier said than done when the older sister is still in the chapter! I've been through it when a biological sister of a current collegiate member was cut from recruitment. As would be expected, this lead to the older sister disaffiliating. You can't expect a member to pick your GLO over her biological sister...it would be rare for that to happen.

When I just got initiated, I gave my sister (who was about 11 or 12 at the time) a "Phi Mu Legacy" shirt in her favorite colors (navy on baby blue). It didn't have letters (anyway she's too young to be mistaken for a member) and it clearly stated only what is true.

She's 14 now, she hasn't worn it in forever (although I know she's got it somewhere) and when she did wear it she was very proud of it and learned that a few of her teachers were greek too! I would bet a million dollars that she'd never join my group (and don't really expect her to, she's not the type), but it was nice for us to have that bond to share during that time. She also got most of the party and homecoming shirts we were forced to buy (the boys designed them and they were all tacky and they never ordered enough smalls so we had to take larges!)

I have two other sisters who will be nine shortly, and I totally want to get them something similar because they like to hear the songs and meet my sisters and are curious. I might get something like "My big sis is a Phi Mu!"

So has anyone bought any little boy clothing with their sorority letters on it? I think it's a little weird, but I saw that they do blankets in pink and blue. My sister-in-law is pregnant again (we're all hoping for a girl this time!) and I was eyeing the blankets. Thing is, I don't know whether to get one in my letters or the peanut's (nice nickname huh?) mom's letters. But my sister is an AXiD and it might be more appropriate to get a blanket with a teddy bear on it for a newborn.

But yeah..little boy toddler wearing sorority letters? I'd only do that to my nephew if I could find a 'A Sigma Kappa Loves Me' shirt or something. Now if there is a niece in my future, there will also be a sorority boardbook too

Sorority Specialties has a shirt like that.

I was thinking the same thing the other day! One of my new member class sister is giving birth later this year, and we know it is going to be a boy!

I didn't know how appropriate it would be to get stuff for him that said Theta on it. Of course the dad is in a fraternity, so this makes it a little easier!

If anyone has any other links to cute GLO baby stuff please let me know!

My now-18 year old daughter's nickname was "Peanut" because it looked like I was going to lose her at 6 weeks, so they did an ultrasound, and she looked just like a peanut. So, yeah, I think it's a great nickname!!
